The picture.

Trifecta has a little different twist on their weekend prompt this week.  The idea is to take the 33 word passage provided and add another 33 words to move the story along.  Below is my take, with the prompted passage in italics:

The last strains of sunlight lingered in the corners, grasping every available point of refraction. She slid her fingertips along the glass wondering if this was all there ever was. Or could be.  Her fingers left streaks in the dust, revealing more of the image beneath. The older man and young girl stared back at her accusingly. The sound of breaking glass reverberated through the twilight.

  1. This makes me want more; to want to know the backstory. Why is she so angry? Is she the little girl? Or was that her little girl? Who is the older man? Why dies she interpret their expressions as accusing?
    This is a great hook!
